Cash Back is an Enchanted Soul in the Castlevania series. It allows the player to gain money when taking damage.
Characteristics[]
Cash Back is an ability that allows Soma Cruz to obtain Gold every time he takes damage. It can be obtained by gaining dominance over a Mimic's soul.
In Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, it gives 5 gold per every HP lost, transferred instantly into the 'Gold' counter.
There is a Save Room in the Clock Tower next to spikes that is an excellent way to use this ability. The spikes deals more damage the higher Soma's Maximum HP and DEF are and less damage the higher his CON is, so the player can dive into the spikes, take some damage, jump into the save room and heal. This can be repeated indefinitely. It's advised to save often between sessions though, as a mistake can end in a Game Over.
The Regeneration from Alura Une's soul can make the sessions longer, possibly indefinite if a Chaos Ring is equipped and Soma's Level isn't too high, and if Soma is taking too much or too little damage, checking his equipment for options that change DEF and CON are a good idea.
In Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, it turns the percentage (%) of the total value of HP lost into money outside of Soma after he takes damage:
- Losing 1-9% max HP generates $1 per hit.
- Losing 10-24% max HP generates $100 per hit.
- Losing 25-35% max HP generates a $500 gold bag per hit.
- Losing 50% or more generates a $1,000 gold bag per hit.
Note: Generated coins are not affected nor have any interaction with the Gold Ring.
This ability also appears in Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.
